DANIEL s. coerce. orliioeiiaivsnrins, CALIFORNIA, assrenon or one- HALF To cnAa -nsawilnrne, or os ANGELES, oauroanm SPECIFICATION farmin taa of was Patent No. 758,298, dated. April 26, 1904;

Application filed Tannery Z3, i904 Serial No. 190,375 (No model.)

, zen of the United States, residing atLos Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new 'and'usefnl Improvements in Non Refillable Bottles, of

which the following is a specification.

I The object-oimy' invention is to provide'a bottle "that when it hasonce been filled and my device appliedthereto may be emptiedof its contents. hutcannot be refilled. I'accon1 plish this object by the mechanism described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, .inf'whfichw f Figure 1 is a central verticai section of the neck of a bottlewith mydevice in central ion:- gitudinal sectioninplace therein/ready to re- It :will .be observed that the curved neckof ceive the'cement." "Fig", 2 is a likeview taken in a plane at rightangles to-theplane of Fig.

1, withcernent around the sameto hold it in place. Fig. 3 is a persryetjive viewof my de? vice removed froin the nehk of the bottle.

.In the drawings. A is'the neckofa bottle the bore of which preferably tapers inwardly to its junction with the body of the bottle} which taper is so slight as to be scarcely dis cernible in the drawings. In the neck of the bottle" and ata sufficient distance from the the cork therein to close it is my non-refillable-device, which consists of the bulb B, having an apertureC in the bottom thereof. The

portion of the bulb surrounding this port forms avalve-seat. This bulb is adapted to fit snugly in the bore of the neck of the bottie, so as to provide a tight joint'betw'een the bulb and the neck of the bottle. This bulb is' provided with a neck B, having a curved out let-channel D therein. This neck is so constructed that the sides thereof, as shown in Fig. 1, fit snugly against'the neck of the bottle, so that the outlet-channel D extends across almost the entire transverse diameter'of the neck of the bottle; but in the transverse'distance across it is a very narrow channel. W'ithin the bulb is the valve-gate E, which consists of a round ball, which is adapted to roll down and close port Gin the bottom of the bulb when the bottleis in a vertical ormchnedpognouth thereof to provide for the insertion of the bottle.

sition, and thereby prevent anyliquid from being poured back into the bottle.

. In the use of my device the bottle isfirst filled, after which mynon-reliilable device is placed in position, asshown in the drawings,

with the vbulb closely fittingthe'neck of the bottle; after which plastic cement]? may be poured into the neck of the bottle around the neck of the nonrefillable device until it reaches to nearly the top of the same, and when such cement sets cannot'be removed from the neck of the bottle Without destroying the nonrefillable device.

valve-gate, after which it may be heated and bent tofo'rm the valve-seat for the' valve-gate:

the bulbprevents the insertion of an instrument into the bulb to hold the. valve-gate ofi the valve-seatto refill the bottle, and thereby I 'a'simpleand eflicient 'and inexpensive device is provided which wiliprevent'the refilling of the bottle whose contents have been used up.

It willalsof be observed that whenthe bottle is tu-rnedso as'to pour its'contentsout that the same willflovv readily through th'enarrow v 7 curved-channel in the neck, of thenomrefillabledevice; as the valve-gate will only touch at one point on such; outlet. If desired; the

bulb and heck'coui-d be made of foetal; but I prefer glass. as it is cheaper andmore easily formed into appropriate shape. 'By'elongating the bulb slightlyiso'that-its sides would con tact for some little distance with the neck of the bottle, the surfaces which con-tact could be ground, thereby making aground-glass fit between the non-refillable device and the neck of Thenon-refillalbledeyice is placed ma neck of the, bottle a sufiicient distance below the l. The combinatiodwitha bottle'ofi'a nonrefillahle devicegconsisting of a bulb in the.-

neck of the bottle, said bulb having an aperture in the lower part thereof and a curved outlet at the other end thereof, said outlet extending almost across the transverse diameter of the neckof the bottle and being very narrow transversely; a valve in said bulb adapted to close the aperture in the bottom thereof when the bottle'is in a vertical position.

2; The combination with a bottle of a nonrefillabledevice adapted to fit into the neck of the bottle which device consists of a bulb having an aperture in the lower end thereof and a neck on the upper part thereof, said neck having a wide curved outlet therein, said outlet being very narrow transversely; a ballvalve in said bulb adapted to close the aperture in the bottom thereof when the bottle is in the vertical position. v

In witness thatIclaim the foregoingI have hereunto subscribed my name this 18th day of January, 1904.
